Caswell v. North Jersey Street Railway Co.
Opinion of the Court
This was an action -for personal injuries received by the female plaintiff. The jury rendered a verdict of $500 in favor of the wife, and of $100 in favor of the husband.

So far as the amount allowed by the jury to the wife as compensation for the'injury received by her is concerned, although a considerably larger sum could not have been declared to be excessive, yet, on the other hand, the amount fixed by them cannot be declared inadequate. The verdict in her favor, therefore, must stand.
The compensation allowed to the husband for the deprivation of the society of his wife, and for the expenses neees
